I asked the emigration lady as I left at the Medellin airport, cause no one asked for the MIG form Friday or Sunday. She said no, not needed any more.

No one with Spirit airlines cared about the MIG form. Only the Vaccination card. They looked at it, but could not read it, smudging of the ink, small print, etc. Spirit just wanted to see a card and neg covid test upon return.

I just called American Airlines & they said I would need to complete the Mig form 72 hours before departure.

AA checked my Check-mig both ways last month.

I do not recall being asked for the form in January. Also it does not go beyond page 2. No fill in blanks are on page 3. And I am 48 hours from flight, inside the 72 hours. I will have to forget about continuing to try, again and again.

The immigration agent hasn't asked for the Check-mig form in a while. Sometimes the airline will ask for it. It takes less than five minutes to complete and receive confirmation, so I don't take chances. They do check vaccination cards at departure and at immigration. I always show them the card, so I don't know if an electronic copy is acceptable. I go through immigration in MDE very fast, but I arrive around 5pm and there are no other airlines arriving at that time.

Still required? Do they inspect vaccination cards now? Is it enough to have a digital photo of it on my phone?

I have not traveled to Colombia in a while. You might want to post your question in the Medellin Reports thread but as far as I can tell a lot of people are complaining that it takes a long time to get through immigration becuase so many people have not filled out the pre registration so I think it is still required but again you should post this question in the Medellin Reports thread. It is the busiest thread and the busiest city so you are most likely to get an answer there.

I purchased travel insurance from Trawick for a trip when Colombia opened after the Covid closure. I didn't have to use it. According to their website, they pay if you are quarantined. Their rates are very affordable, scaled by age.

FL, Just an update. I sent them an email with a question the day after our posts and still haven't gotten a reply. Seems a bit too slow. I'll give them a call and see what happens. Prices are reasonable as you said. CL.

Yep and non vaccinated cannot enter.

Just a thought. How is everyone verifying these vaccination cards? Understandable if its an obvious fake. Yet, what if you had an actual vaccination card that was filled out but never actually took the shot?

As of today, that is all the Covid stuff you need. You need to fill out the Check-mig form at https://apps.migracioncolombia.gov.c...eregistro.jsf..

I could not fill the form from my computer. The staff at the check-in desk told me to do it on my smartphone. It is a common issue. Also don't expect to USA in the drop-down menu it will Estados Unidos. 2 cents.

Thanks Fun Luvr, this is just what I was looking for. Better to have it and not need it then the other way around.
